Sofia Uz: It is a must visit if you're around Sunset blvrd, amazing music selection, everything and anything
Original Penguin: Given all the music created in Los Angeles, it’s mind-boggling that there’s still only one place you really need to go to buy tunes in this town. This Mecca of music occupies an entire city block.
Bravo: Huge record store right on Sunset. Always has the newest and most hard to find selection. Never disappointed with the shopping/looking/listening experience. -Alex Reznik, Top Chef
Red Fraggle: Heavy into the tape scene, but also has a great balance of new and old records. Trevor is great and really knowledgeable. Huge jazz fan and can get you any unique records you request.
Tom Samiljan: Excellent selection of cassettes, both used and still sealed from back in the day, as well as from newer indie labels. Also: boom boxes for sale. Owners respect music and make great recommendations.
Jay Grant: Really cool atore

Josh Rimokh: Been coming here for some years now. Good selection of used CDs. I always manage to find something new everytime I come in. If you're a vinyl record collector, this is a must shop place.
LA Weekly: Best Record Store: Valley - 2012! CD Trader mixes the best of all worlds for music listeners. The store may not look like much, but you'll find yourself in a room full of goodies!-Daniel Kohn Read more.
Shawn: This is the closest you are going to find to an old school record store nowadays. Great selection and way more enjoyable than Amoeba.
